We made it!

We made it to the city today! The plane ride was perfect. My many hours of preparation – reading advice on the Internet and mentally walking through my vision of how traveling with an infant should be paid off.And Jeffrey initiated Gabrielle into the hotel fluffy bed club as soon as we arrived.

Jessica B - I can’t wait to hear your tips for traveling with an infant. We will be flying from Arizona to Michigan in July with our little one and I am already starting to feel a little anxious about it. It will be our first trip with her and I just want to be as prepared as I can be.

Debra - Love the way Gabrielle is gazing at Jeffery in the last photo. Pure Love!

NYC.

Lots of excitement around the house today as we are packing for a trip to the big city tomorrow! This trip is extra special for many reasons… 1. It’s New York City! The coolest place in the world to visit. 2. It’s my first trip in months AND I can fit into my normal clothes…

jessica - Hi Amy!
I was getting her bath ready – hence the running water in the background :) You’ll have to excuse the amateur video – you’ll get to see my video skills improve as you watch Gabrielle grow!
Thanks for visiting!
Jessica

Amy S. - You can just see their little minds growing by the minute, she is gorgeous. Why does it sound like she is in the shower or getting lots of applause?

Ruffle Dress.

What are you dreaming about today?

jessica - Hi Carrie,
I did try the dress. I bought it the smallest size they had – definitely noticed the larger fit. I wore it with a belt – and didn’t love the look. I think it’s meant to fit baggy. I’ll try again soon without the belt and hope that will look a bit better.
Cheers!
Jessica

Carrie - Did you ever try this dress? I found it to run super big!! Totally couldn’t make it work for me, unfortunately. On the other hand, plenty of other JCrew stuff has worked for me recently. :)

jenn - :-) have a safe and EXCITING trip can’t wait to hear about it!!!!
I’m day dreaming of going to Montreal in the next month …. and I’m daydreaming of NEW JEAN shopping! i’ve dropped some weight yay!!!!

Lanette - What about a simple black tank dress, casual and summery in style?

Liz - black and white stripes came to me. Maybe something “piratey”.

Cynthia,TX - Hi Jess, have you been to this site http://www.polyvore.com my daughter uses it to play around all the time. I warn you…you can spend hours here. You get to design you own outfit using the current fashions, it tallies it and goes to the appropriate stores where the clothes are located. Good Luck!!!

Jennifer - What about a harem pant?

Urban Outfitters has a few as well.

Lisa Martin - denim popped into my head first, too. I was thinking shorts though. but let us know what you pick, because it’ll be great!

jenn - I so don’t have any clue lol but they’re cute!!! enjoy them! I think I’d wear jean capri’s with them or a cute demin skirt
